  • Does what it meant to do!

    Simple, easy to use and pretty much includes everything that I need on that particular app.
    Chain control, construction, incidents, rest stops and road cameras.
    Please just keep it simple like it is. Thanks
  • Many, many safe winter trips over the donner pass

    Ive used this app for at least a few years and depend on it very much. I just drove over in a blizzard with 6 grandchildren in the car—i checked the app and cameras all night before. I cant even imagine not having this to depend on—i highly recommend it to everyone i know
  • One of the first apps on my iPhone

    Installed this app many years ago as one of the first apps. And somehow lost during migration from phone to phone. Recently installed it again and very happy with the new functionality (cameras). Thank you for supporting your app!
  • Driving Mode Change

    The recent version of driving mode no longer has the miles filter. I wish it would go back to the ability to set a filter like 5 miles and 10 miles. The new closet setting could stay as a choice but the ability to have those original settings made this app great!
  • Live camera

    Is there any way to get more pics from the camera on highway 299 berry summit? Also if you can look into the camera on highway 299 lord Ellis summit it’s been down for years it would be very helpful make sure you have regular updates
  • Great for Trucking

    I love this app! I’m a truck driver and I use it all the time to see if there is chain control over Donner Pass!

    I was so disappointed when there was an update and you got rid of the ability to check each highway by its route number, such as I-5 or I-80, thank you for bringing that back with the highway button/icon!

    The only thing that seems to be missing is the location arrow that let’s you zoom in or highlight the areas that you are currently in. I really liked that feature as I can’t use my fingers to find myself on the map while I’m I’m driving. If you could add that back I’ll give you 5 Stars!

    (Update) Thank you for adding the location arrow back, loving your app and appreciate that you actually care about the users of your app! Great job! Also, there should be more 5 star ratings, this app does what it’s supposed to!

    Thank you for the nice review.
  • Use to use this. It’s crap now.

    I use this use this in the course of my dispatching as I am a tow truck dispatcher. It provided great updates for my drivers during the course of their calls. Now I can’t even find an incident that is actually IN our area. The stupid map circle doesn’t work. I do not need to know what in the world is occurring in South Lake Tahoe. I need to know my immediate area like I use too. Please spare me the cookie cutter reply I’ve seen on every review. You broke something that didn’t even require fixing. A lot of people relied on this app. I’ll be looking for a different app. -a disappointed dispatcher

    With our latest update you can filter incidents by area by tapping the filter button then CHP Incidents(By Area). Hope this helps. Thanks for using CARR
  • Nice, but... Review Revision

    What happened to the glossary? The incident details made more sense when I could look at what they were talking about. Example - what is 1124?

    The rest is different, nice looking, but navigable. I agree with another review about driving mode... the voice is loud, even when I have the volume down.

    Revision - I heard from the developer who said “The glossary button will always show up when you tap a CHP incident.” So I opened the app to try that.

    If you tap on the icon of an incident, there is not a glossary button. When you tap the 3 parallel lines (top right corner edge of the map) the map switches to list mode. In the top right corner is the glossary button.

    I do recall having to tap out of the incident to look at the glossary before these changes.

    Thanks for the feedback. The glossary button will always show up when you tap a CHP incident. It was not showing up at one point so make sure to have the latest update.
  • No CHP incidents being reported?

    It’s not showing any CHP activity. Only road construction. I’ll be at work and three Highway Patrol cars will go tearing down the road lights flashing and sirens wailing and then I check the app, nothing. Clearly somethings going on...and I’d like to know what it is. That’s the only reason I got the app. The previous version did this just fine. I wish I could downgrade to that one.

  • App change

    Prior to the App change, I was able to access the road cameras easily. This was something I appreciated as I travel over the Sierra often. Since the change, it is hit or miss whether or not the cameras show up. This has always been a good App that I relied on, but now it’s not as reliable as in the past.
